I guess some context would be nice.

They are on a three city speaking tour called The Unholy Trinity Tour. They stopped in Albuquerque, so of course I had to go.

Seth Andrews (of The Thinking Atheist fame) talked about the stupidity and contradictions found in the bible. He also pointed out something I had never thought of. In the story of Noah, he releases a dove to see if there was dry land. The Ark had no means of navigation so even if there was land 20 meters away, Noah could not do anything about it.

Matt Dillahunty (of The Atheist Experience Fame) talked about his recent experience with a Christian sect that asked him to come to a conference they were having so he could debate one of the pastors every night. He pointed out how that sect believed that miracles do not happen anymore and was proud that no one in their church believed in ghosts. Matt also pointed out how some people in that sect were sending him emails asking him questions instead of asking their pastors advice afterwards.

AronRa (of Creationists’ Nightmares fame) talk about how some public schools (and public money) were being used to teach creationism. He also talked about how dishonest faith positions are and how people should not believe things on faith.

They also answered questions from the audience. Overall, it was a wonderful time. I talked and thanked each one personally, I also saw Matt do some magic tricks.
